Be cool to be far: Exploiting hibernation for space exploration
In mammals, torpor/hibernation is a state that is characterized by an active reduction in
metabolic rate followed by a progressive decrease in body temperature. Torpor was …

Low body temperature governs the decline of circulating lymphocytes during hibernation through sphingosine-1-phosphate
Hibernation is an energy-conserving behavior consisting of periods of inhibited metabolism
('torpor') with lowered body temperature. Torpor bouts are interspersed by arousal periods …
